W. J. McCarthy wa3 bound over to
the grand jury this morning on
charge of stealing an overcoat from
the Turner hall saloon, the property of
a young man named Stone. McCarthy,
who gave his occupation as a bartender
and undertaker, said he took the over
coat because ho could not find his. He
said that on previous occasions of dan
ces at the hall he had had his coats
and hats taken by his friends as a joke,
and when he missed his coat this time
he took another, thinking it belonged
to one of his friends. When he came
up Second avenue he found that it be
longed to one with whom he was not
acquainted, and he then told those
whom he was with to tell Stone he had
the article.
The bond fixed by Magistrate Elliott
was $30o.
Trouble Carmen.
Two offenders were fined this morn
ing, pleading guilty to having given
trouble to the street car men. One who
for the time went under the name of
John Smith, attempted to make a lodg
ing house of the street car and in
formed the conductor that he could
not put him off. The conductor did,
but received several marks on his face
while doing so. Another one wanted
to sleep in a car that had been turned
into the barn. An attempt was made
to get him to go home, but he said this
was a free country and he was a tax
payer and did not have to go home un
til he was ready. He defied Officer
Vogel, who called the wagon.
Other Offender.
Others who paid the penalties were
Joe Fisher, charged by Rose Kingston
with assault and battery; Rose Kings
ton, charged with disorderly conduct;
John Mitz. who was found in the gut
ter with a bundle of Mertz' magazines;
and Ben Ganahl. who got gay with
Deputy Sheriff McCullom Sunday and
was thrown into the jail, where he evi
dently had a companion he wanted to
see.

TO APPEAL FOR PROTECTION
Sympathizers in Lawrence Raise Fund
of $500 to Assist Her in Fighting
the Case.
It is reported on good authority that
Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, who departed
from Lawrence, Kans., with her babe
before the order of the court was serv
ed upon, her. Is out of reach of the
Kansas officers, and, if she is not now
in this county, will be here and will
appeal to the court for protection un
der its ruling.
If she has made good her attempt to
escape she has made a remarkable
trip. There is a question as to whether
or not she can be taken back, and even
If she can. there is greater question of
her being compelled to turn over the
child to the Barclays. In Illinois she is
under the ruling of Judge Graves In
the Rock Island court,, which permits
her to keep the child.
Refard Hrrogrnlllon.
: The contention from the first was
that the Kansas courts should recog
nize the Rock Island ruling, but this
Judge Smart declined to do, and if this
is to develop into a case of Illinois vs.
Kansas the chances are good for Illi
nois coming out ahead.
The citizens of Lawrence have taken
up the case of Mrs. Bleakley as against
her father-in-law, who lives- in tho same
locality and $500 has been raised to
assist her in fighting the case If she
has to go further in the courts with It.
It Is reported that more is forthcoming
if it is necessary.
colleagues on the committee have de
termined to adopt stringent methods

extravagance in the navy.

partment returns report only $6,000,

all repairs are made. The committee
has called upon the navy department
to explain the use to which the re
